Steve Ames has passed away.
For those that are on Facebook, there have been a few posts by Ames Performance and I think the GTOAA that Steve Ames is fighting for his life. Sounds very serious. Just wanted to let those here that are not on FB know. Keep him in your prayers. Thanks.

Mr_GTO,
Thank you for this information. I hope it is incorrect news? If true ..... I hope for the Best for Mr. Steve Ames. PS, I don’t do FB, as it’s ridiculous. Chris.

Wow. Quite an operation he has built. Covid? How old is he?

Our hobby most likely would not be the same without his efforts

I met him at a local swap meet in 1985 in Massachusetts. I thought he was old then. My guess is he is in his late 70's or early 80's.

He has done more for the Pontiac hobby than anyone else in my opinion. I met him at a swap meet in 1978 and we have been friends since then.

Prayers from this end of the USA. He's the very best of the Pontiac world. Met him a few times over the years and he always had smile.

I've met Steve before when I was just starting out selling the Pontiac T Shirts in I believe 2008. I knew he had a bout with PMD/GM over trademark infringement, and asked him as he was walking through the show field what I should do, or if I was in fact I was infringing on the trademark. He took about 15 minutes out of his day to give me some very insightful information at the Schenectady NY/GTO show. I followed his advice to the letter, and it was great advice.
He didn't have to take the time to talk to me, but did just because I asked him some questions. Very nice man, and I'll never forget his kindness to a total stranger. I of course knew he was, but he didn't know me from Adam. I recently asked for prayers for my mother, and the people on PY responded overwhelmingly. I will return the favor for Steve. Prayers sent for a full recovery Lord, and comfort for all his family. It would be a shame to lose someone who has freely given back to this hobby, as he has.
